Description

Morphology

Small passage about 5 m long that at the end remains choked by the sediments that periodically enter from the Segre.

Progression

According to what a local farmer commented on the first visit of the SIE (2005), the sediments would need to be cleared out since, as he claimed, as a child he had entered at least a hundred metres.

History

The first data available are those of the visit by members of the SIE – CEA on 1 January 2005.

Visited again in early July 2024 by members of the Espeleodijous, while carrying out the cataloguing work.
